In the start GATE...

When you strap in and everything goes quiet.... a quick fist pump to your competitor to wish him luck. (really your thinking , catch me if you can!)

The emotions get contained and bottled for a split second as the inner beast is winding his way from your heart to your extremities..... and the gate drops🏁 and the heart begins racing like a caged stallion who just found freedom!!! Every race or training run prior... thru a sprain or a wild crash...this all fades into what matters most in those 60 seconds ahead.... 🇨🇦🥇
